Scripture
2 Corinthians 2:10-11 (NLT)
When you forgive this man, I forgive him, too. And when I forgive whatever needs to be forgiven, I do so with Christ’s authority for your benefit, so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.
Consider
Forgiveness is God’s preferred way of dealing with broken relationships. Indeed, one can make the case that the entire Bible is a story of forgiveness—God’s plan from the beginning to heal and redeem a world alienated by sin. Jesus came to earth neither to punish nor to excuse our sinful lives.
